2x4-pin molex to 8-pin PCI-E on GPU

[ultimatemhd]

Is it safe to use this cable on a GPU?

being specific, a STRIX 980 Ti

i have used 6pin pcie adaptors with no issues, can't see 8pin being any different.

Hi

If the psu does not have correct PCI-e. Cables then it is probably not a good idea to bodge the job using the adapter
The 8 pin PCI-e can draw 150 watts of 12 volts at about 13 amps

What graphics card ?
What make & model psu?

Note 6 pin PCI a-e supports 12 volts 75 watts which is half power supplied by 8 pin plug
